Unless I missed something after having adapted to the volume of `stream.c' related junk by systematically deleting them, I don't believe that I've seen any _detailed_ problem analysis, rather various hypothesizing about nothing and everything all at once. As for the mbuf issue, 4.0-RELEASE will include a less-fatal way of dealing with a shortage. Although, I'm not exactly sure of _what_ instance of shortage you (or whoever had posted that comment originally) is dealing with. Can you point me to the reasonably-detailed stream.c related Email to which you're referring to above? -- Bosko Milekic Email: bmilekic@dsuper.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
